Mystics vs. Sky final score: Washington handed first loss of season, 88-86, by a spirited Chicago team

When Washington Mystics’ Head Coach Mike Thibault called a timeout with his team trailing by two in the waning moments of tonight’s affair, it almost seemed as if the last remaining undefeated team in the “wubble” would find a way to at least tie the game, if not win. In the Mystics’ last possession, Emma Meesseman received the inbound pass from Ariel Atkins, but Chicago Sky’s stout defense forced her to the baseline, resulting in a poor pass that was picked off by Courtney Vandersloot. As the clock hit zero, the Mystics fell by the slimmest of margins, losing 88-86.
